Associate Pastor of Ministries Connection Church

Job Overview

Connection Church is a gospel-centered, missional church located in the growing city of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The church is affiliated with the Acts 29 Church Planting Network, The Gospel Coalition, 9

Marks, the SEND Network, and the Dakota Baptist Convention.

This position centers on leading and scaling our Gospel Communities (GCs), which are the heartbeat of our disciple-making strategy, while building systems that sustain church-wide discipleship, leadership development, and member engagement.

Not an exhaustive list, but here are the primary responsibilities:

• Structure, oversee, and implement church-wide discipleship processes and pathways that move people from first-time visitor to multiplying disciple.
• Provide vision, structure, and pastoral leadership to all Gospel Communities (GCs), including recruiting, training, coaching, and mentoring GC leaders.
• Collaborate with the Lead Pastor and ministry team to ensure all discipleship pathways align with the church’s overall vision, teaching themes, and spiritual direction.
• Oversee the entire membership journey—welcoming guests, leading membership classes, conducting interviews, and shepherding toward covenant commitment.
• Teach in a variety of settings, including preaching in Sunday gatherings (up to 10 times annually).
• Lead and oversee the baptism process—equipping leaders, preparing candidates, and celebrating new life in Christ.
• Build and manage systems to track spiritual growth, leadership development, and congregational care.
• Provide direct pastoral care through counseling, visitation, prayer, and presence in key life moments (e.g., weddings, funerals, crises).
• Equip, empower, and multiply leaders who can shepherd others and launch new ministries or Gospel Communities.
